Magic Item Descriptions
This new wondrous item supplements the magic items found in Chapter 7 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide.

Palm Bracelets
An old and enduring fashion amongst noblewoman is the wearing of hand or “slave” bracelets. This piece of jewelry, whose position on the body is over the back of the hand, is made of thin cords―either leather, metal wire or small metal chain links―that link from the wrist to one or more fingers forming a web design. Usually hand bracelets are beaded and laced, forming intricate designs.
Unbeknownst to the nobility, practitionners not of etiquette but of sorcery also wear a very similar item: a palm or “master” bracelet whose position is over the palm instead of the back of the hand. While woman’s hand bracelets are often both delicate and intricate, sorcerers’ palm bracelets are rather simple and sturdy. Central to these palm bracelets is a plaque―often of polished ivory or metal―fitted with a gem that enhances the power of certain spells cast.

Palm Bracelet: A plaque resting in the craddle of the palm and attached to the wrist and fingers, a palm bracelet has a hole in its middle in which a gem can be mounted. A wizard with a palm bracelet and casting a spell might enhance the spell if it is of the descriptor or school that the currently mounted gem is set to enhance. Swating a mounted gem for a different one takes 1 minute. Only one gem may be fitted to a palm bracelet at a time. Although a bracelet can be worned on each hand only one can be used on each spell. Palm bracelets are considered gloves when determining how many magic items a character can wear.
Moderate transmutation; CL 7th; Craft Wondrous Item, creator must be 7th level; Price 16,000 Cp.

Gems and Palm Bracelets

Any of the following gems can be added to a palm bracelet. See page 175 of Magic of Faerûn to get examples of what gems can do and what prices they come at.
Tear of Badna: Blue sapphires said to be the cobbings from the Star of Badna’s gemcutting, they come from the mines of Raam and can be bought in that city.
Mounting such a gem in a palm bracelet causes any spell with the mind-affecting descriptor cast by the wearer to have the save DC against it increased by +2. If no saving throw applies or is allowed, it instead adds +2 to the effective caster level of the effect.
Material Cost: 1,000 Cp.
Corpse Stone: The bladder or kidney stones from such creatures as faels and dune runners, these smooth accretions albeit mundane in appearance are said to hold some of the power of the dead.
Mounting such a gem in a palm bracelet causes any necromancy spell cast by the wearer to have the save DC against it increased by +1. If no saving throw applies or is allowed, it instead adds +1 to the effective caster level of the effect.
Material Cost: 1,000 Cp.

I find the concept of palm bracelet quite interresting. Here are some more type of stones unique to Athas that can be fitted into a bracelet or used as precious stones for the next noble or high-ranking templar your players stumbles into:

Lifestone: The opaque, smooth blue-green gem is said to have been formed by the immense pressure of the ancient oceans that covered part of the world in the past. Most have been found in bare stone area of the Sea of Silt where the wind has striped down the dust from the bedrock.
Mounting such a gem in a palm bracelet causes any transmutation spell cast by the wearer to have the save DC against it increased by +1. If no saving throw applies or is allowed, it instead adds +1 to the effective caster level of the effect.
Material Cost: 1,000 Cp.
Slave Crystal: Also called Drakestones, these pearly, colorless gems are found in small groups near area devastated by the passage of the Dragon. When looked into, one seems to see small, vapor-like swirls eddying into the depths of the stone. Folklore believes that these are the imprisoned spirits of the slaves taken away by the Dragon, waiting for their total dissolution.
Mounting such a gem in a palm bracelet causes any spell with the fear descriptor cast by the wearer to have the save DC against it increased by +2. If no saving throw applies or is allowed, it instead adds +2 to the effective caster level of the effect.
Material Cost: 1,000 Cp.
Dream Citrine: This rare orange amethyst is only found on the slopes near the Lake of Golden Dreams. Urikites believes that each of the gems is the crystalization of the dreams and nightmares of the people who once lived in city at the bottom of the lake.
Mounting such a gem in a palm bracelet causes any illusion spell cast by the wearer to have the save DC against it increased by +2. If no saving throw applies or is allowed, it instead adds +2 to the effective caster level of the effect.
Material Cost: 2,000 Cp.
Fire Vermilion: Veins of this scarlet cinnabar are found in rocks surrounding the Lava Gorge. The translucent stone continues to generate heat for years after being mined and some ssuran tribes bury one, called in their language ‘sasslassir’, near their egg clutches believing that the nest will be blessed by brighter than usual offsprings.
Mounting such a gem in a palm bracelet causes any spell with the fire descriptor cast by the wearer to have the save DC against it increased by +1. If no saving throw applies or is allowed, it instead adds +1 to the effective caster level of the effect.
Material Cost: 500 Cp.

During my travels across the wasteland that is my home, one thing I found that fascinated all the peoples I encountered was the beauty that seems to lie inside each gem one see. Given the rarity of precious metals, precious stones are often used as currency but lately have came aware of a more subtle use for them: to enhance one’s spell casting. After many fruitless (and dangerous) inquiries, a Veiled friend of minefinally told me of the power possessed by some beautiful stones coming from the four corners of Athas.

Tralis Ruby: Once in a while, slaves quarrying obsidian on the Mountain of the Black Crown fall upon a deposit of deep, transluscent blood-red stone, the raw form of tralis ruby. Inevitably, it reaches the expert hands of the Enameser clan in Makla, a dwarven family specializing in gem-cutting since Tralis Enameser, seven generation ago, who turn uncut gems into flawless masterpieces before selling them to the higgest bidder.
Mounting such a gem in a palm bracelet causes any evocation spell cast by the wearer to have the save DC against it increased by +1. If no saving throw applies or is allowed, it instead adds +1 to the effective caster level of the effect.
Material Cost: 1,000 Cp.
Desert Varnish, Athasian: Desert varnish areas, which are frequently discovered in the rocky badlands on the eastern side of the Ringing Mountains, are said to be the fossilized remnants of an organic taint that befell the ancients before the ancients and that begun to drink away the water from our world. While thought to be cursed and that few ever want to touch one of these rock surfaces, once a piece is polished, one get a smooth, oval stone of brown with speckled dark orange coloring.
Mounting such a gem in a palm bracelet causes any spell with the death descriptor cast by the wearer to have the save DC against it increased by +2. If no saving throw applies or is allowed, it instead adds +2 to the effective caster level of the effect.
Material Cost: 1,000 Cp.
Girasol: This gem seems to have a patch of floating light inside, like a miniature yellow sun. They are more common in Balic because they are often found near the marble quarries from the Silt Side Mountains, near the dwarven village of Ledo.
Mounting such a gem in a palm bracelet causes any abjuration spell cast by the wearer to have the save DC against it increased by +2. If no saving throw applies or is allowed, it instead adds +2 to the effective caster level of the effect.
Material Cost: 2,000 Cp.
Silk of Guthay: Contrarly to what some believe, the silk of Guthay is not an expensive fabric weared by Draji women but a grayish white pearly stone with a vague pale green shimmer just beneath the surface. It’s believed to have fallen on Athas when silk wyrms hatches on the moon Guthay, in reference to the old elven legend of Uncle Tontor.
Mounting such a gem in a palm bracelet causes any spell with the teleportation or electricity descriptor cast by the wearer to have the save DC against it increased by +1. If no saving throw applies or is allowed, it instead adds +1 to the effective caster level of the effect.
Material Cost: 500 Cp.

Note : I wonder if the use of gems in a palm bracelet could be used to gain the free use of a metamagic feat like the lesser and greater metamagic rod from the accesory Tome & Blood or if a new item is more appropriate.

Dexter Stone: Not really a gem but a rare white stone-like porous material, this stone is exclusively found on the sea bed when storms lift the silt from the ground. These stones are found attached to the sea floor, as if they had grown there long ago.
Mounting such a gem in a palm bracelet causes any spell from the path dexter (see page 31 of the DS3 core document) cast by the wearer to have the save DC against it increased by +1. If no saving throw applies or is allowed, it instead adds +1 to the effective caster level of the effect.
Material Cost: 2,000 Cp.
Sinister Stone: This jagged piece of obsidian is of the highest quality and bears faint unseen resonances when shown to practitionners of the Way. Sages believe they are fragments of larger psionic items that have shattered.

Raze : Converted from The Age of Heroes
Necromancy
Level: Wiz 4
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Area: See text
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

This spell causes a circular area of vegetation to give up its potential for magical energies and turn to defiler’s ash. The life-draining effect causes plant creatures to suffer 2 hp of damage per level of the caster and creatures except the caster caught within the area of effect at casting time experience pain and suffer a -1 penalty to attack rolls, skill checks and saves, lasting one round. The area of effect is a burst 5 ft plus 5 ft per caster level in radius for a defiler and 5 ft plus 5 ft per 3 caster level for a preserver. A preserver casting this spell must make a Will Save as if he had cast a spell by defiling or become a defiler.

Material Component: A handful of ash from a previous raze spell or normal defiler magic and a pinch of salt…

And two new items for the wizard who fear for is self-being (justly so :wink: ) and try to not get caught casting:

Necklace of Secretiveness
Necklace of Secretivness: This necklace is composed of a red rectangular piece of cinnabar upon which are drawn some mystic signs attached to a few string of giant’s hair. The magic of the necklace enable the caster to use thrice per day the Silent Spell feat on any spell of 6th level or lower he can cast. The spell being silenced uses its normal spell slot and can be further augmented by other metamagic feats provided the caster uses the required spell slot.
Moderate (no school); CL 17th; Craft Wondrous Item, Silent Spell; Price 21,600 Cp.

Armband of Quiescence
Armband of Quiescence: This bronze armband is composed of a single strand of rounded wire coiled into a double spiral of figure of eight design, each spiral tightly wrapped around itself. The magic of the armband enable the caster to use thrice per day the Still Spell feat on any spell of 6th level or lower he can cast. The spell being stilled uses its normal spell slot and can be further augmented by other metamagic feats provided the caster uses the required spell slot. The armband of quiescence take up the bracers or bracelets spot on a character
Moderate (no school); CL 17th; Craft Wondrous Item, Still Spell; Price 21,600 Cp.

About the pricing of the stones, I’d put the price for the palm bracelet to 16,000 Cp (spell enhancer 4th level squared x 1,000Cp) and keep their material cost as it is since, lets not forget, without the palm bracelet, these are just gems and possess no magical power by themselves, only the potential.

Swarm Form Amulet
Swarm Form Amulet: These flat iron amulets are shaped in the form of dozens of intermingled animals, usually birds, snakes or vermins. The wearer can take the form of any swarm at will, as with the swarm form† spell. (Wearers with the undead type take the form of undead swarms exclusively.)
† This spell can be found on page 42 of Dragon Magazine #280.
Moderate transmutation; CL 9th; Craft Wondrous Item, swarm form; Price 23,000 Cp.

Sorry Pennarin, I was just giving the reason why I’d put the price for the palm bracelet higher. It’s the equivalent of a 16,000 Cp item and without any gem attached to it, you won’t get any bonuses. The reverse is also true, the gem without the bracelet are only worth their ordinary value since no one will be able to tap their mystic energies.

Oracle, if Pennarin continue to be such a font of inspiration for me, I will do my best to bring under the light of the Dark Sun new items of power. And everyone out there, please let us know if you have created magic items from or for Athas. Thanks.

[SIZE=5]Brazier of the Gray Calling [/SIZE]
Brazier of the Gray Calling: This basalt brazier consist of a clawed tripod connected by a vertebral column-like support to a bowl surrounded by four equidistant skulls with green peridot gems for eyes. When burning coal and the skull of a dead intelligent creature are put into the bowl, the user can speak with dead with this creature, if it can speak and understand the language known by the creature while alive. The spirit will answer up to five questions and no matter the alignment of the user, it’s not allowed a Will save to resist the spell. The skull must be intact for the contact to be made with the spirit of the dead. The same creature cannot be spoken to more than once a week and the fire burning inside the brazier does not destroy the skull used. (An image of the brazier of Gray calling can be found on the cover of Dungeon magazine no110)
Moderate necromancy; CL 10th; Craft Wondrous Item, speak with dead; Price 25,000 Cp.

[SIZE=5]Figurine of Wondrous Power: Obsidian Beetle [/SIZE]
Obsidian Beetle: This magical figurine functions identically to those detailed on page 256 of the DMG. When animated, an obsidian beetle transforms into a giant stag beetle under the command of its possessor. If slain the beetle cannot return for one full week. Other than that, the owner can call upon the beetle twice a week for no more than 6 hours per use. It enlarge and shrink upon speaking the command word.

Heheh! Wanna trade pics of our mutual computer environments?!

Necklace of Secretiveness & Armband of Quiescence: You increased the price range to account for passing from 1/day to 3/day (shouldn’t you triple it instead of double it?), but the Magic of Faerûn ones have a CL of 17th, while yours have 7th.

Btw the metamagic rods are now in the DMG.

The following item appears in another thread but I’ve updated it:

Orb of Storms, Athasian
This orb is an athasian variant upon the standard orb of storms found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide.

Orb of Storms, Athasian: This glass sphere is 8 inches in diameter. The possessor can call forth all manner of weather, even supernaturally destructive storms. Once per day she can call upon the orb to use control weather or control wind. Once per week she can use either glass storm or sirocco. Once per month she can conjure a storm of vengeance. The possessor of the orb is continually protected by an endure elements effect and a limited eye of the storm effect that protects only the possessor.
Strong varied; CL 18th; Craft Wondrous Item, control weather, control wind, endure elements, eye of the storm, glass storm, sirocco, storm of vengeance; Price 65,000 Cp. Weight 6 lb.

Let me see:
Necklace of Secretiveness: CL 7th; 6th lvl-, 3/day, Silent Spell any spell; 12,000 Cp.
Armband of Quiescence: CL 7th; 6th lvl-, 3/day, Still Spell any spell; 12,000 Cp.
Armband of maximized healing: CL 17th; 1/day 6th lvl-, Maximize Spell conjuration (healing); 7200 gp
Aquamarine of spell extending: CL 17th; 1/day 6th lvl-, Extend Spell any spell, 7200 gp
Metamagic feat rod of silence; CL 17th; 3/day 6th lvl-, Silent Spell any spell, Strong (no school); 11,000 gp (normal)

I guess I ‘ve seen CL 7th while it should have been CL 11th (see below). I will keep moderate (no school) but I think that 12,000 Cp is about in the same range as 11,000 gp for the metamagic rod of silence (same number of uses per day for the same spell level). I will lower it back to 11,000Cp to keep them in line with the rod. Btw, I remember now why CL 7th: it’s the minimum level before you can get Craft Wondrous Item but CL 11th is more fitting because it is the level a wizard is able to cast 6th level spells (as opposed to 17th level wizard for 9th level spells, as a greater metamagic rod is capable of enhancing)

You’re constructive criticism and questionning is always welcome is I try to keep the items I create balanced and logical vs those already existing. I also see that you’ve changed the price for the palm bracelet to 16,000 Cp, glad to be of any help

Cassock of Ordinance
Cassock of Ordinance: This brocade templar’s cassock is sewn with the symbol of the sorcerer-monarch’s templarate.

The magic of the cassock give the wearer a +10 competence bonus to Intimidation checks, and the use of doom at will, hold person three time per day, and greater command once per day, all of these as cast by a 10th level templar. The cassock of ordinance take up the robe spot on a character
Moderate enchantment; CL 10th; Craft Wondrous Item, scare, doom, hold person, greater command; Price 42,000 Cp.

I suggest making the robe a psionic item instead, so using it, creating it and paying for it is less of a crime/heresy.

About the urikite silk: you’re better off making it raamin silk from the queen’s silk worms. Plus, the vizier class wears silk clothing, so…

Denier’s Pipe
Denier’s Pipe: This small ivory blowpipe is delicately carved in the form of a gasping figure with hands at its throat, its angled mouth serving as the blowpipe’s mouth.
When defiler’s ash is inserted in the tube it becomes a powerful sorcerous poison. If blown on a wizard it causes the loss of the ability to gather or access energy, no matter the source, for 1 hour. A wizard is entitled to a DC 19 Will save to negate the effect. When attempting to blow the ash on a target, treat the blowpipe as a blowgun with half the range. Filling a blowpipe is a move action that provokes attacks of opportunity.

An item found in The Obsidian Oracle, used by Tithian and his balikite pawns:

The user of the king’s eye gain normal and low-light vision regardless of the atmospheric condition prevailing around him.

King’s Boon
King’s Boon: The crafting secrets of this item are known only to templars and royal defilers who use it to better infiltrate the Veiled Alliance.
This smooth, palm-sized bronze disk has a bulge at the center of one side, about an inch in width. To activate its magic one must put the disk on a flat surface, bulge-side up, place a rolled-up magic scroll upright on it and light it afire; the scroll burns unnaturally fast and hard, quickly becoming ashes. Removing the ashes reveals the bulge to be red-hot and boasting a mystic rune. If the bulge is applied on a creature within 5 rounds of the scroll’s burning it brands the creature’s flesh with the rune. Only a creature with an Intelligence score of at least 5 and a Wisdom score of at least 9 can be so branded.
The creature gains the use of the scroll that was burnt on the disk as if it were using an actual scroll, by touching the brand; after activation the brand dissapears. Treat activating the brand as activating a scroll (the requirements for activating a scroll still apply).
Moderate evocation; CL 7th; Craft Wondrous Item, imbue with spell ability; Price 56,000 Cp; Weight: 2 lb.
